Here’s a tip for all you frustrated pixel pushers who really really want to love CSS but can’t seem to get things where you want them: using margin, margin-left, margin-right, margin-top, margin-bottom is just as good as top, left, right and bottom. In some cases, it’s better. Why? Because IE for Windows 5 and 6, […]
For whoever searched for “can’t login root on YellowDog”, ummm, sorry. If you forget the root password, you’re pretty much hosed. You hopefully set yourself up as a normal user and you remember that password. Even so, you’ll never be able to install another RPM or setup any new services. Yeah, you’re in a world […]
I have some serious stuff I want to write about today or tomorrow, but I’m going to wait until I’m more awake before I do it. I got Movable Type installed on the Powerbook yesterday because I realized I’m never going to get anything done if I work on this stuff just at lunch. So, […]
Today has flown by! I’m building a reporting system between interuptions. It’s going to be really cool, and uber-maintainable so I can add people to contact lists, add and schedule reports and other neat-o stuff without having to restart anything. Sweet, huh? Yeah, I know, it’s keen. In other news, apparently it’s Canada Day. So, […]
In an attempt to woo me further, the lovely couple who give the world Movable Type released a new version yesterday with support for MySQL, which is kind of what I was waiting for. Now there’s no excuse other than time, and now that I’ve installed it once, I think I’d be OK installing it […]
So, I got Movable Type installed on the uber-box (running, of course, AOLserver). It was surprisingly easy. I didn’t have a lot of the required Perl modules installed, but that was also extremely easy to fix. I may just have to go migrate myself. I don’t know about Jen and Max though. We’ll see, I […]
So, my site’s been moved. I now have MySQL, PHP and all the other cool things that make things… ummm… yeah… cool. So, now that I have PHP and a database, should I do like everyone else and install Movable Type? I know there are other pieces of software out there that accomplish the same […]
It takes forever to format a drive. Yes, I’m actually doing it. I am toasting my hard drive as I speak. My Windows desktop is getting a nice little refresh that will hopefully fix my phantom crashes and odd behaviors (I mean, other than the odd behavior built into Windows). Wish me luck. I hope […]
Since I talk about them all the time, I’ve decided to post a breakdown of the machines I have at work. Here you go, in no particular order: Dell Precision 220 – 733mhz P3 / 20gb HD / 256 mb RAM – Win2k Dell Precision 550 – Dual Xeon 1.7ghz / Dual 36gb SCSI hd […]
I feel so geekily accomplished. I’m installing GNOME2 on the uber-box and have already completed the schema for a new project (reporting – not exciting). What else will I be able to accomplish today? Who knows!!?? It’s not even 11! Maybe I’ll rewrite everything in Java (which I need to learn). Maybe I’ll invent a […]
